If you can eat butter, fine. We have to limit our dairy.

My husband will *not* eat the purple ones, so I won't buy the mixed
bags anymore. I think it's a visual thing with him though. Too bad.

I often wonder why there's no blue food. Every other color in
well represented in the food kingdom. And don't bother me with
blueberries; they're purple. The same is true with blue corn and
blue potatoes. They're purple. Blue cheese? Nice try. It's actually
white cheese with blue mold. Occasionally, you might run across some
blue Jell-o in a cafeteria. Don't eat it. It wasn't supposed to be
blue. Something went wrong.

I still haven't seen blue potatoes. They're dark purple (almost
black) around here.

The stems and strings should be removed but leaving the pointy tip is
the proper way to serve green beans.

Who says? I think the pointy end is unpleasant in the mouth. Sheldon, I'm
sure you have an appropriate comment to go along with that. ;o}

I don't find the "strings" on current green beans noticeable but I do
like the ends of the beans cut off. When I was a kid, the strings were
tough and inedible but that doesn't seem so now.

I'm sure the tiny ones were more. But do I care? No! The other potatoes
all looked either green or sprouted. Not something I would buy. Granted
they did have all of the potatoes covered with a black drape. I didn't
remove the drape to assess all of them. I just lifted one corner and chose
from something in that vicinity. Yes, I could have gone to another store
but I didn't want to. I was only buying a few things.

I looked specifically for them in the grocery store yesterday and they
weren't there. What this store had was a bin of extra small new
potatoes of varying sizes (I forget what they were called officially)
and if you fished around in it, you might come up with enough 1
inchers to make a side dish for one or two. I'm thinking that when
they arrive here, they'll be sold in the small bag and at $3.99.
